First Time with Contacts

The process

First complete the basic eyeglass exam

During this exam I will check your eye health and prescription for glasses

After I have this information, I can give you very specific recommendations of contact lenses

It is best to use eyedrops for a few days to get comfortable with putting things into your eyes

Then you should watch the training video:

Next we need to schedule an appointment to help you to put the contact lenses in and take them out

This visit will cost $30 per half hour of time

Once you are able to insert and remove the contact lenses, then I will begin the contact lens fitting

This is the exam that every patient wearing contact lenses needs to get in order to update their prescription

This exam will cost $40-60 depending on your astigmatism or bifocal needs

Once we get through everything above, you can take your lenses home to test them out

I will give you a printed contact lens prescription, which allows you to order a supply of contact lenses

But you might want to use the lenses a few times to see how you like them and check for any problems

If there are any problems or questions, contact me, otherwise feel free to order more lenses when you need them

There are no extra fees beyond what is paid today as long as we are making reasonable changes
